I'm no expert at this, but when I click a message from APML and then
Norton's goes ballistic and says it is quaranteening the badtrans stuff, it
gets my attention.  Whether it is the real thing or just an imitation
mimicking the real badtrans, I don't know.  But the fact remains that
someone out there is posting messages with an unprotected and infected
computer.  That is what I was upset about.  If APML is not forwarding the
real thing, thats great.
